Too good to be true? It is...

Mere moments after this photo of Dee Clarke and her five-year-old daughter Tilly was taken on Mooloolaba beach, the heavens opened and rain poured down, proving the morning sunshine had just been an April Fool’s joke.

On holidays from Brisbane, Ms Clarke and her family are no strangers to rain but had hoped the Sunshine Coast would live up to its name.

“We came up to watch the Mooloolaba Tri and decided to make a family holiday out of it,” Ms Clarke said.

“If the weather improves, we’d love to stay for a little longer.”

The Clarke children, Tilly, Mitchell and Corey, won’t be the only kids hoping for an end to rainy days.
